(US)

QUESTION: Hi

I have been having just alittle bit high blood sugar which goes some times up to 107 or 110 and my doctor said that i do not have to worry about it.

I am not sure if that number is high or normal. I have not been taking any kind of medications. So, I want to know: Is 107 a good blood sugar level? What about up to 110 blood sugar level range?

Thanks


ANSWER: Hi Roni,

First, let me remind you that the normal blood glucose concentration is between 64.8-104.4 mg/dl. As you can see by yourself, everything seems to be ok with your glucose metabolism.

Moreover, keep also in mind that slight deviations are allowed due to different apparatuses, used in the laboratories, different reagents and of course individual differences.

Therefore, having blood glucose results of 107 or 110 does not have to terrify you, because a lot of factors can lead to such results.

First possible explanation of such slight elevation in the blood glucose concentration is the consumption of food, just right before the fasting blood glucose test. Remember that you have to be fasting before running this test.

Other factor, which can explain your slight elevation in blood glucose is having a dinner rich in calories, the day before.

You have to know that the organism needs time to use the glucose acquired with the food and when you are eating a lot, your blood glucose is higher.

However, this doesn't mean that you have diabetes or something like that.

While blood sugar levels in the 107 to 110 mg/dL range are not an immediate cause for concern, they are a signal to pay attention to your overall health and consider making lifestyle changes.

What does blood sugar level 107 to 110 mg/dL after eating mean?

Normal blood sugar level (bsl) after eating is considered less than 140 mg/dL. Your reading is ranging from 107 to 110 mg/dL.

So, this is perfectly normal, it is also not considered prediabetic, nor high enough to be a diabetic.

Normally, bg would increase immediately after eating. But, after 2 hours the sugar will get back to normal range. This happening in your case too. So, you must try your best to keep this range of bg.

In addition, I want to inform you that there are certain early symptoms of diabetes such as urinating a lot, eating more than usual and drinking plenty of water.

Therefore, it is possible for you to have diabetes if you experience some of the symptoms mentioned above.

Besides, if you are worried about your blood glucose tests results, you can always to do something in purpose to avoid such results in the future.

What can I do to lower my blood sugar levels?

The best way for you is to start following a healthy diet and to begin with the exercises.

Those activities are going to reduce the glucose concentration in your organism, which means that such results are no going to appear again.

Next, quitting bad habits (alcohol, smoking, etc) can also reduce your risk of developing diabetes.

Can lifestyle changes help bring down blood sugar levels in this range?

Yes, lifestyle changes can be highly effective in helping to bring down blood sugar levels in the range of 107 to 110 mg/dL and maintaining healthy blood sugar control.

Lifestyle changes are often the first line of defense in managing blood sugar levels, and they can be highly effective, especially in cases of prediabetes or early-stage diabetes.

What is the risk of developing diabetes with these blood sugar levels?

Blood sugar levels in the range of 107 to 110 mg/dL typically fall within the category of "impaired fasting glucose" or "prediabetes."

While blood sugar levels in this range are not in the diabetic range, they indicate an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes if left unaddressed.
